by Jean-Nicolas Bouilly (1763 - 1842)
Air nouveau de Doche
Language: French (Français)
Des brillans atours qu'il invante Le luxe couvre la beauté ; Mais Fanchon, pour être charmante, Doit garder sa simplicité. Des dons que lui fit la nature L'art encor n'a rien outragé : Combien de femmes pour parure Voudraient avoir son négligé !
Confirmed with Fanchon la Vielleuse, Comédie en Trois Actes, Mêlée de Vaudevilles, by MM. J. N. Bouilly et Joseph Pain. À Paris, Chez Barba, Libraire. 1803, page 30.
